Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:19:29 +0000http://tuathaderising.wordpress.com/?p=96#comment-60Ooh, Thanks! I did miss that. It isn’t easy to sneak up on someone who can see everywhere in the crystal ball, but I doubt she was looking at it all the time, and pride of what she had accomplished with turning her sister to evil could have inflated her ego enough that she may not have seen the need to spy on the enemy. She also could have been busy with continuing to shape her sister’s anger and letting her in on some of the tools they had available to crush the rest of Oz now that she could be certain that Theodora would be on her side. I could also see Evanora focusing in the wrong place with her crystal ball: It is supposed to be this Wizard that is the threat to her power. Oz drew the plans for the machines, but especially with the projector, she would be unlikely to know what it was if she spied on him drawing the plans. The Munchkins or Tinkers that did all the work of constructing these things. Even if she spied on Oz during the moments where he was walking by and inspecting the sewing going on, she was likely to discount it as being the normal sewing and tinkering that the two groups were known for. The kind of trickery that Oz was using, along with the machines he was designing were entirely unknown in the Land of Oz, so I don’t necessarily view it as a plot hole that she didn’t realize what they were up to.

Wed, 13 Mar 2013 19:45:04 +0000http://tuathaderising.wordpress.com/?p=96#comment-49Thanks 🙂 I am generally a fan of fantasy worlds (at least in movies) that are loaded with detail to the point where you get a strong visual feel for being immersed in that world. I think it is particularly neat when they throw in details that those who have read the books will recognized and be amused at. For example, even though the snapdragons were featured in the Great and Powerful Oz, I don’t think they actually mentioned the name of the snapdragons in the film itself.

Wed, 13 Mar 2013 05:17:05 +0000http://tuathaderising.wordpress.com/?p=96#comment-47While talking to her sister Evanora we get a brief glimpse of something like sand pouring from one hand to the other behind her back. Then we see her pull the box from behind her back. It was quick, so I’m guessing you missed it, but she creates the music box to upset her sister. Likely she had seen Oz present the box to Theodora through the crystal ball (which I’m guessing was on the fritz while Oz and Glenda were prepping for battle).

Tue, 17 Jul 2012 23:44:41 +0000http://tuathaderising.wordpress.com/?p=31#comment-12Good post, however to be clear, Janus was a Roman god, not Greek. Granted, you didn’t say he was Greek but was almost implied. In any case he’s always been one of my own favorites from that pantheon – looking backward into the past while also looking forward into the future.

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:00:04 +0000http://tuathaderising.wordpress.com/?p=8#comment-10As a child, I would often be subjected to the curling iron before special events, so I hadn’t realized that curls were at one point considered undesirable. You may not have had a disney princess, but you did have a curly-haired Queen of Comedy. Now I have friends with curly hair straightening, and straight hair curling, and at some point we are all sneetches on the beaches starring the cosmetic industry as our fix-it-up chappie with beauty defined as “whatever requires you to spend money to achieve”. You make an interesting point with your post. I think there could be a lot more little girls embracing the curl, because Merida’s hair is awesome 🙂

As a child of the 50s & 60’s I was always told nobody likes your hair….when I was complemented on my hair, I was told the reason was pity. No one on TV had curly hair like that……I was from a different planet. Embrace the curl!!!!!
